What happens if there’s a tie?

The voting period will be extended to exclude all but the games involved in the tie. There has been an effort to present some rules & regulations on this - I can’t remember them & can’t be bothered to look them up! Just look tomorrow!  Laughing

This is the process for the CCPTs:

We will continue the standard process. Nominations and voting will last 15 days and will close on either November 20 or if we go three straight days with no new posts. If there is a tie, everyone, including those who didn’t vote, is eligible to cast one vote for one of the tied games. Tie-break voting will last five days. If there is still a tie, the person running the voting process, (me in this case,) will break the tie. This differs slightly from the AGCPT process in that there are no carry-over votes. Voting to break the tie starts from scratch.

The one addition to this, more of a procedure than a rule, it that the person running the voting, in the above case it was me, wasn’t allowed to vote in the tie break vote. That was because that person also got the final tie break vote, which would essentially give that person two votes while everyone else only got one.

I don’t remember why there was a decision to include carryover votes for the AGCPT. It seems simpler to start from scratch.

Great stuff. Highly recommended for those nights when Morpheus is busy elsewhere.
But nobody except me remembers the fucking rules, isn’t that sad.
Hey! I got an idea! Let’s make some new rules. Yippee, that will be so much fun!

What happens if there’s a tie?

The Northmen say the world will come to an end, the sun will grow black, the earth will sink into the sea, the stars will disappear, fire and water will meet, flames will play against the sky, the heavens and earth and all the world will be burned, all the gods will be dead and the warriors of Valhalla and people everywhere.
Br305893, prepare yourself for Ragnarok, for it is a tie.

This could be interesting. I can’t wait to see who wins, hopefully someone will post a winning vote before we run out of time.

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

As always. a pleasant presentation.

Chrissie, you are in charge of the rules. Whatever you say they are, they are.

Heh. Did you admit you were wrong about Shivers and SCUMMVM? Nope. Silence is your only defense.

Chrissie, you are in charge of the rules. Whatever you say they are, they are.

Who do you think you are? You and isnogood and chrissie and sefir and giom and timovieman and many others wanted RULES. You got your RULES after long deliberations. So now you and isnogood and chrissie and sefir and giom and timovieman and many others should have the decency to remember them and ABIDE by them.

PS: I almost forgot, my vote goes to

I did.

I’ll take everyone’s word that it works with SCUMM/VM as long as you have the original disc.

Ah, yes.  Tongue
So you admit that Shivers is in SCUMMVM’s compatibility list?
That Shivers is mentioned on their home page?
